Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
REVIEW – I have a lot of “smart” products in my house. In fact, I just checked and there are currently 38 things connected to the Wireless network in my house. And only a few of them are phones, tablets, or computers. Most of our smart devices are smart lights, smart plugs, and smart speakers. […]
REVIEW – When we travel to large cities, like Washington DC or Atlanta here in the States or like London or Paris in Europe, we typically bring a small army of gadgets that need power, including iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, and Kindle Paperwhites. Our phones need charging during the day as we are out sightseeing,
REVIEW—I am excited because I have yet another network device from Engenius to test and review. By now, Gadgeteer readers already know that I am a big fan of EnGenius and their network products and that my home network resembles the infrastructure of an Enterprise network in many ways because of the various devices I

REVIEW – For the past few years, I’ve relied on backpacks to carry my laptop and tablet when traveling. However, there have been moments when I found myself wishing for a quality laptop bag as an alternative. The Waterfield Designs Shinjuku Laptop Brief immediately caught my eye as something likely to last for a long

REVIEW – Because indoor air is often dirtier than outdoor air, I’ve been searching for air purifiers for our home. The Gadgeteer was offered the Provirtec ClearBreathe Smart Air Purifier to review and I got the chance to do so. I have another air purifier I reviewed and like really well – it’s the Airthings

REVIEW – When we moved into our new house three years ago, I never thought I would want window coverings on the high-mounted small windows that we have in several rooms, including our master bathroom. I quickly discovered that because we live on a corner lot that has another street running straight into our side

REVIEW – About 8 years ago I got sucked into the mechanical keyboard hobby. And down a rabbit hole I went. Over the years I had accumulated a myriad of different boards from various different companies. But the Fizz K617 is the first board I have tried from Redragon. And it is also the first
REVIEW – I’ve been a smartwatch wearer since 2012, with the Pebble smartwatch. The primary purpose of a smartwatch for me has always been to screen calls and notifications before actually taking my phone out to respond or interact with them. The Pebble pretty much only did that function, and subsequent smartwatches over the years

REVIEW – More than two decades ago, I was a fresh-faced, young college intern in a corporate IT department, and one my tasks involved test-driving what was the grandfather of the modern smart TV: a projector with a built-in computer. Of course, this was 2004, which meant the projector I was evaluating ran Windows CE.
REVIEW – As a mom, I am constantly on the lookout for things that will encourage my children to get outside and take a break from the screens. However, there is so much technology that getting away is a challenge all of its own. The Isinwheel V4 children’s electric skateboard combines the fun of electronics

REVIEW – I’ve got cats. Two of them, to be exact, and they are angels when it comes to using a scratching post. One of them has arthritis, however, so she is limited to scratching the base of the posts she has. The Mau Torii cat scratcher allows the elegant style of hardwood yet the

REVIEW – Solar outdoor lights are very easy to find. You can find small ones for a buck at the dollar store, even. The biggest problem I’ve seen with those, though, is that in general you’re lucky if they last a year and the plastic stakes and posts tend to break very easily. Not a

REVIEW – I know!! Here we go again!! After reading several of my reviews of wireless mic systems, you probably thought I was done. Well, no!! I may be far from done. It seems that I have become addicted to researching and enjoying the variety of mic systems and features that are constantly being offered.

REVIEW – As I get older, these old hands have started to develop a little arthritis and using hand tools have gotten a little more difficult and painful. Screwdrivers, one of the most basic of home hand tools, are especially more difficult. I have found myself reaching for a drill with a screwdriver bit attachment

REVIEW – I spend quite a few hours most days in an office chair, which can really get old with even a decent chair to sit in. I’ve started looking at different options because while a standing desk is nice occasionally, I find it’s nice for a break but I still need to go back

REVIEW – Vosteed has gotten quite a reputation for offering great EDC pocket knives at exceptional prices. And if you didn’t know, they also love to name most of them after animals. One of my favorites is the Raccoon I reviewed last year. Now they’ve released the Porcupine. How does it measure up? Is it

REVIEW – Biking is a great pastime, but sometimes, getting to the place you want to bike is a bit fraught. I’ve got bikes now that require more transport ability than my tiny Prius can provide, so I volunteered when the DYU C9 long-range fold-up e-bike came up in the review list. I’ve ridden it

REVIEW – NESTOUT makes some pretty cool products and when a review opportunity opened up on their new Carabiner Battery I was all in having already purchased a couple of items last summer. This little guy ups the gadget factor considerably, and for as device dependent as we all are having an extra 5,000 mAh

REVIEW – I have been a fan of LEGOs for as long as I can remember. I used to stay the night at my friend’s house, where we would stay up until all hours of the night trying to use every last brick we had to build as big a city as we could manage.

REVIEW – It’s been quite some time since I’ve reviewed a keyboard. Thanks to the keyboarding enthusiasts, there are so many options to choose from now and almost all of them incorporate features and mods sought after by that community. Even better, the cost of quality-built mechanical keyboards has dropped to the point where a
